Worked up an Appetite


After going up the Schilthorn, we had dinner at the Hotel Oberland in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. This is their cute cow logo.






The pizza was OK, but their Wienerschnitzel is the best!






They were very sweet and actually made us a dessert to order! It is made with Limoncello and lemon sorbet.

Puycelsi, France


At the end of April, I went to a retreat in a small town in Southern France called Puycelsi, near Toulouse. It is a great little town perched on top of one of the many hills in that area. Our meals were provided by the L’Ancienne Auberge and were fantastic! Here is an example of dessert.

Lyonnaise Cuisine


The main reason we ventured to Lyon was to try the world famous food. It did not disappoint. Thanks to our friend, Faith, who knew which restaurant to try, we had an excellent meal. The key to eating there, however, is to not think about which parts of the animal you are eating (such as cow's snout pictured here).



Our restaurant had it's own label made.



This looks strange, but was my favorite dish. It's made out of Pike I think.



This food is all about the sauces. You can make any meat taste good with a good sauce!



The desserts were also wonderful.



I believe this was Faith's favorite.



Set up for the dinner crowd.



You can't smoke inside restaurants in France, so people take their smoke breaks outside.

Fancy Dinner


The Sous Chef hard at work!



My grandfather's vase seems to have retired in Provence. I'm so glad it has such a nice new home!



Setting the table.



Waiting for the action.






Prost!
